Tautomerization curcumin

The colour of curcumin varies with the pH of the medium. Under acid conditions a bright yellow is obtained but under alkaline conditions a reddish brown hue is obtained. This colour shift occurs because curcumin undergoes keto-enol tautomerism. [Pg.95]

In Chapter 11 we learned that most enols, compounds that contain a hydroxy group bonded to a C=C, are unstable and tautomerize to carbonyl groups. Draw the keto form of the enol of curcumin, and explain why the enol is more stable than many other enols. [Pg.639]
